Description-en: Python 3 interface to libapt-pkg
The apt_pkg Python 3 interface will provide full access to the internal
libapt-pkg structures allowing Python 3 programs to easily perform a
variety of functions, such as:
.
- Access to the APT configuration system
- Access to the APT package information database
- Parsing of Debian package control files, and other files with a
similar structure
.
The included 'aptsources' Python interface provides an abstraction of
the sources.list configuration on the repository and the distro level.
